Farmer's happy event

Chapter 119 Bad Things
After returning home, Yang told Lianzi that a letter from Su Keyan had arrived.

Lianzi rushed into the main room, quickly opened the letter, and read it meticulously.

"Oh, I see you are having fun." Li Zi joked on the side.

"No, take a look, take a look," Lianzi said, and handed the letter in front of Lizi, "but brother said, it's very hot in summer over there, I just want to be immersed in cold water all day .”

Li Zi glanced at it and said with a smile: "Well, the south is naturally hotter, but in winter, it's warmer than here."

"That's not true. Although the temperature over there is higher than ours, the stove is not lit. It's cold and damp." Lianzi said.

In her previous life, it's not that she hasn't been to the south, whether it's inside or outside, it's always damp and cold.Unlike here, although it is cold outside, the house is still very warm with the kang burning and the stove lit.

"Oh, by the way, I want to sell my newly ground flour." Li Zi said.

Chestnut steamed rouge paste a few days ago, I tried many times, and finally it was a steamed one that I was quite satisfied with.Recently, I started grinding powder again, and I produced a few boxes. I want to try selling it first.

"Okay, do you want to sell it at the fair?" Lianzi asked.

Li Zi nodded: "Take it to the market and sell it for a try, if it doesn't work, think of another way."

Lianzi certainly agrees with her idea.No matter what, it is always the first step in starting a business.Think back when she first went to sell medicinal materials, didn't she just try it out.

On the Caojiawan side, Cao Zhifu stood at the door for a moment after sending Liu Jingren and Lianzi away, and then walked out of the house.

Although the lake is shared by the village, because there are not many people involved, there is no need to call the whole village to hold a meeting. You only need to discuss it with a few older elders in the village, and then ask if there is any land by the lake. The family is.

The lake is about two acres in size. If it is to be sold, one mu of land should cost more than ten taels of silver.Considering the particularity of this matter, there must be some other expenses during the period, which is also possible.

The land by the lake does not belong to any good land, and none of the elders' families have land there, so they all agreed to sell the lake.The others didn't quite agree at first, but when they heard that after selling the lake, each family would give some subsidies, they all agreed.Only one person, however, still disagreed.

The one who disagreed was Cao Zifang, the local rich man who wanted to buy lotus seeds for his stupid son as a child bride.

That time his wife went to Liujiazhuang to make a big fuss, but she returned home disheartened, so she naturally caused him a lot of trouble.Cao Zifang was so annoying that he took in two concubines in a row.But his son died, and his heart ached. He naturally hated the Lianzi family in Liujiazhuang.At this time, I heard that they were actually going to buy lakes in his village, so I couldn't miss this golden opportunity.

But in this kind of matter, it was naturally inconvenient for him to come forward in person. After thinking about it, he thought of Brother Chunxing.

Everyone in the village knows what kind of person Chunxing's elder brother Cao Wenguang is.Delicious, lazy, idle, the most unconscionable.But isn't such a person just for his use?
So, that night, Cao Zifang went to Cao Wenguang's house.

"Your family has land by the lake. Think about it. If you sell the lake, you will be given a dime as a subsidy. But what if there is a severe drought? Are you sure that people will be able to provide water? Then you The loss is more than a drop of money. If the lake is not sold, it is our own, and we can use it as we want, but if it is sold, it will be different. We have to rely on others to use the water. complexion."

Although Cao Wenguang was a picky guy, he didn't have much brains. Hearing the words of the rich Mr. Cao who condescended to come to his broken family, he immediately changed his mind.

"So what?" he asked.

Cao Zifang patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "So we can't agree. If we don't agree, those people won't dare to sell it."

After saying this, he looked at Cao Wenguang hopefully.

"Hey, good, good." Cao Wenguang smiled.

Cao Zifang couldn't help being a little disappointed, saying that Cao Wenguang had a brain disorder and was an elm lump, and he really didn't wrong him.

"Hey, that's right." Cao Zifang said, "Wen Guang, if we disagree with this, then we won't be able to sell it."

After speaking, he said again: "Don't worry, as long as this matter is done, I will definitely use a soft sedan chair to carry your sister in, and I will give you five taels of silver as a gift."

It's all said and done, so he should be able to understand.

This time Cao Wenguang did not disappoint Cao Zifang again. When he heard that he would give five taels of silver, his eyes lit up, and he instantly understood what Cao Zifang meant.

"Hey, ok, ok, I promise it will be done, and I will contact other people tomorrow, and we will all bite to death and refuse to agree!"

Only then Cao Zifang nodded in satisfaction. To him, taking a concubine was just a piece of cake. Moreover, Cao Wenguang's sister Chun Xing was not bad.

On the second day, Cao Wenguang walked through the village and contacted those whose homes had land by the lake. After a lot of talking and talking, Cao Wenguang finally persuaded them.

However, they did not notify the village head, but discussed another set of countermeasures.Of course, this countermeasure was also suggested by Cao Zifang, and Cao Wenguang came up with it himself.

The next day happened to be a big fair, and Li Zixiang went to the fair to sell rouge cream and powder, so Yang Fan and Liu Jingren got a car and took her there.

Out of curiosity, Lianzi followed along.

In this market, all the rouge and gouache sellers gathered together, one stall after another, covering half a street.

Lizi thought it was troublesome, so he didn't bring a stall, but just spread a cloth on the ground, and put a few boxes of rouge cream and rice noodles that he developed on it.

If you only look at the appearance, the things made of chestnuts only use simple packaging, which is naturally much worse than those on the stalls that sell rouge and gouache.But Lizi is very confident. Although her things are packed in a simple way, but fortunately, the price is affordable, and there is absolutely no bad effect.Her powder is all ground with rice and jasmine seeds. Although the color is not as white as that of lead powder, after applying it on the face, there will be absolutely no uncomfortable feeling.

Liu Jingren was going to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables, so he left chestnuts and lotus seeds here to watch the stall.

After a while, a woman in her thirties came over, picked up a box of rouge cream from the stall on the ground, put it to her nose and smelled it.

"Big sister, why are you selling this rouge?" the woman asked.

Li Zi hurriedly stood up and replied, "Sister-in-law, this one is only fifteen cents a box."

"Fifteen cents, it's still so expensive." The woman said, putting down the rouge in her hand.

After finally a customer came over, he asked the price and left. Lizi felt a little bit shocked for a while.

Seeing the woman walking away, Li Zi sat down, remained silent for a while, and suddenly asked Lian Zi, "Is the price a bit high?"

Lianzi thought for a while and said, "The price is already very favorable. Don't forget that you made it little by little. How much effort would it take?"

Chestnut thinks about it too, the price is very reasonable.

Shortly after the last guest left, another one came over.

This time it was a big girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a lotus-colored single shirt and an apricot-colored pleated skirt.

"Big sister, take a look, these rouge creams and powders are all made by myself, and they are absolutely comfortable to apply." Li Zi stood up and smiled, then picked up a box of powders from the ground and handed them to the girl , "Smell it, it's ground with jasmine seeds, it's fragrant."

The girl took it over and smelled it, and asked, "How much is it?"

"It's not expensive, ten coins."

Both sisters Lianzi and Lizi thought the price was very fair, but the girl frowned and said, "The ones over there are only ten yuan." She said, turning to look at the rough powder in her hand. box.

"Big sister, but this is made by ourselves, there is no such thing that hurts the skin at all. Just try it, I promise you like it." Lianzi also said, and took the powder box from the girl. , dipped some in a homemade powder puff, and handed it to the girl to give her a try.

The girl took it and wiped it on her face, and Li Zi put a small mirror she brought in front of her.

"Look at it, how beautiful this powder is when rubbed on, and the color, not to mention how natural it is, is as white as it was born." Li Zi laughed.

The girl looked in the mirror, looked left and right, touched her face, and said, "But it doesn't show any effect, so it doesn't make any difference whether you apply powder or not?"

Lianzi couldn't accept that she had such an idea.Isn't the ultimate pursuit of powder making just to make the powder the same as if it hasn't been rubbed?Unexpectedly, this girl actually likes those floating fans.Well, she is indeed a little difficult to understand.

"Look, how well this powder is rubbed on, it makes the face look smoother and more delicate, and the complexion is also natural. If it is paired with rouge cream, it will be even better." Li Zi said.

Unexpectedly, the girl touched her face in the mirror, but finally shook her head and put down the makeup.

"It's really ignorant!" Li Zi said in his mouth, and sat down heavily.

"It's not your fault." Lianzi said.

In comparison, her aesthetics of chestnuts is quite acceptable.

Originally full of confidence, but who would have waited here until noon, there are quite a few people who came to see it, but none of them bought it, which made Lizi very depressed.

"Let's go." Li Zi said, tidying up everything on the stall.

Lianzi agreed and helped her clean up.It seems that it is difficult to sell here, so let's try another way.

At this time Liu Jingren had already bought the vegetables and came back. Seeing that they had also packed up their things, he planned to take the two girls to have a meal first, and then go home.

Li Zi put everything on the carriage and was about to get in the carriage when Lian Zi suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
